My impressions:
328i Sport: Coming from my former car, a 340hp S4 V8 it actually didn't feel like much of a step down. The 328i is fairly quick and lighter than my S4. I drove it for 3 years as a commuter and not once did I feel like I didn't have enough power to do what I needed to do even in aggressive Los Angeles driving. I took it through the canyons a few times and it was still fun. Despite "only" having 240hp vs the 326hp 340i, I don't feel like the 328i is underpowered at all.
340i M Sport Track Package: WOW, I only owned this car for 3 months, but it's so much faster than the 328i!!! Sounds so much nicer too! I still think it's underrated at 326hp. Much quicker than my S4, much quicker than the 328i. Did it make the 328i seem like a slug? No. BUT, I did have a loaner 320i and it was like night and day.
If you can afford it, go for the 340i. The 328i isn't that bad though if you want to save some $$. Either way, go test drive them both.

Nice! I have already driven the 335i and loved it. Have not yet driven the 340 or 328 yet! My main thing is making the right decision. Don't want no more regrets like with this accord. I might drive the 340 then the 328 to see if the step down is something I can live with!! Thanks for the opinions guys! Keep em' coming!!
